Hey, at least the graphics are great!:lol:

*doesn't get it* :oops:

Translation: Ducimus doesn't like much the new "fantasy" direction that the Sh series is taking. Things like a Type XXI in the Indian ocean, cooperation with japanese forces and such :)

Don't worry, the main reason he doesn't like it is because he knows he will now have double the work to remove it from Trigger Mary and double the opportunities of adding stuff that pleases him by tinkeing with the new features. Guess he is already tired of thinking how much work is waiting for him :D

lol @ that!

having said that, it is a bit odd looking....

I see their using LVs' water textures :yep:

I love the new "special assignment" crew features, but that plus the Type XVIII (not XXI - the original announcement states that it's going to be the Walther boat) suggests that this is going to be very much a "secret weapons of the Kriegsmarine" add-on.

Not that I mind. I think some of the new engine additions will be handy and un-modding the uber-ness to be more realistic is easier than adding content.

And come on, the "casuals" are gonna love it. I mean that in a positive way :D

I believe that's already been confirmed as part of the additions to that and the 1.4 patch.

Yeah I heard this, first pic I have seen where I can tell the difference from their stock water.

Nope, can't say i like too much fantasy. Don't get me wrong, im a sucker for a "what if" as much as the next guy, but there's a point where i draw the line and say, "Ok, that's it, I ain't going any farther".

You've been talking with Dowly and company i see. Thats what he calls TMaru.

Nobody makes an addon (synonymous with expansion) for free. So If this addon costs money as i think it will - im not buying it. Ubi got 50 bucks out of me from a digiital download, and then another 50 when i had to buy the DvD later on. Enough is enough.

Yes i am, and im already playing other games, and enjoying myself. I want to quit, and the longer i go playing other stuff, waiting for the patch, the more detached i am feeling, the less i find myself caring about TM or modding in general.

I havent even said the words "Trigger Maru" on these boards, yet alone "Trigger Mary". :p

* Sigh *

Whatever he said, i can't see it. Nor do i care to. Viva la "ignore" function.

I am not buying this silly add on but I'm sure plenty folk will, ching ching.

I am on the list of those not buying into the add-on either.

I like TM just fine thanks!

Not a good attitude. I personally think there should be as much support for this as possible - I said this before and will again, if we want further commercial development of subsims, it should be supported.

Naturally if the add-on is trash and adds nothing valuable you shouldn't buy it, but if it is enough value... why not? Especially if it may help finance further commercial development.

All due respect to modders, I think we still very much need commercial subsim development to continue the hobby. At least until the day when open-source can match the level of efficiency of pro development, but right now that's still ways away for us.

Realistic, no. However, I love the XXI. If they could fix it and make it work right in SHIV, creep engines, sonar firing without using periscope, that would be awesome. I am wondering if they are testing the fantasy, non-historical war to see if SH5 would work as a cold war / nuke sub sim.

+1 for this post! :up:
